Frozen iDrive screen...

Hey guys, you guys have any issues with your iDrive screen freezing up and not being able to change tracks on your music, or not being able to switch to a different media?.. I just bought a Pixel 7 phone and lately while playing Spotify or any other music app, the screen acts all wacky, goes frozen, and can't switch anything on it, have to shut car off and wait.. sometimes the same song is on there even when the bluetooth is off on the phone.. it won't play, just stuck on the screen???

I did have some issues when I had the original NBT head unit, but since my upgrade to the NBT EVO, I haven’t had any of these issues. CarPlay really made it all a smoother experience for me. It’s almost like the original system just can’t handle the way the newer phones try to connect and send media. Just my thoughts on it.

I never did find a solution before I decided to upgrade.

And instead of shutting off the car, try pushing in the volume knob to reset it. You have to hold it for like 30 seconds or maybe a bit longer. Keeps you from having to shut off the car if you’re driving somewhere and want to reset it.

I think your right about the old original units not being able to connect with these newer faster phones, but seem all apple products hook-up fine, ...android always an issue recently... Ima try pushing in the volume knob see what happens then.. if not... looks like NBT EVO for me lol
